Collision Repair in Crest Hill, IL

Class A vs. Elective Repairs

CLASS A

If you are filing an insurance claim for your repair work, we can help you with all of the details that come with it. We can coordinate all of the repair work with every major insurance company. Before any repairs are performed, we will provide you with a detailed repair plan specific to your vehicle.

ELECTIVE REPAIRS

We are conscious that cost is a big factor, especially in the instances when you are paying for the repairs yourself. The professionals at Maaco will review your initial repair plan and recommend options that will help save you money. Regardless of cost, we will make sure no sacrifices are made in regards to structure or safety of the repair.

Removing/Replacing Parts

At Maaco of Crest Hill, we know that you are conscious of the cost. Therefore we offer three price levels when it comes to replacement parts. OEM parts are the highest in cost, but come from the original manufacturer of your vehicle, meaning they ultimately provide the best match for your vehicle.

A more cost effective option is Aftermarket. While new, these parts might not necessarily come from your vehicle's manufacturer. Recycled parts are the most cost-efficient. They come from vehicles no longer considered 'road-ready' but still adhere to safety and function standards. So if parts replacement is necessary, three options provide flexibility to help you proceed with confidence.

Spot Painting

If your car is in great shape but only has a few imperfections, a touch up may be all you need to restore your car to its former glory. Spot painting can often be the best and most cost efficient option in these cases.

Before targeting the trouble areas, we'll clean and block sand surrounding areas to make sure the entire surface is ready to be painted. We utilize a multiple masking process to make sure the new and old paint is properly blended. This will result in a seamless transition and a great end product!

Finishing

Dust. Lint. Dirt. At Maaco of Crest Hill, our commitment to perfection in your repair job means we never let such imperfections stand in the way. As part of the spot painting process to your repair job comes our standard finishing work. It is our quality procedure that helps sand, buff and polish away those little imperfections.

It starts with wet sanding, spread evenly over the area and then smoothed out. Next we carefully buff the area using a liquid compound. Then it's onto the polishing, a critical step in restoring that shine to your paint and clear coat and getting that damaged area looking good as new.
